The Union Pacific Foundation does not have a range for grant amounts. Many factors, including the specific program or project to be funded and the organization making the request, determine funding amounts. Based on the past several years, the average grant was less than $10,000.

Not necessarily. Many aspects of your proposal are taken into consideration, including your organization's mission and goals, leadership, vision and strategy, type of request, community, etc. The Union Pacific Foundation is particularly interested in the level of support your organization receives from other businesses in your community. The Foundation does not provide leadership gifts or support requests for which they are asked to be the sole funder.

No. The Union Pacific Foundation reviews more than 2,300 grant requests per year and can support only a small portion of these projects. Unless the nonprofit currently possesses a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) determination letter from the IRS, you would not be eligible to apply.
